Reproductive system of Frog? |
The male’s reproductive system consists of three organs. They are testes (where sperm is produced), the urine ducts (they carry urine and sperm to the cloaca), and the cloaca (where sperm and urine exits the body). The female’s reproductive system has two organs . They are the ovaries (where the eggs are produced and stored) and the oviducts (a tube through which the ova pass from the ovary to the uterus or to the outside). The way the frogs reproduce, or in other words mate, is in a process called amplexus The male lets the sperm out. Also, at the same time the female lets the eggs out as well. This process takes place in these areas: under water, on trees ,and maybe a dry land. Once, the eggs are the female frog leaves, but the males stays to make more eggs with females. Once the tadpole’s parents leave, it takes about six to nine days for it to hatch. During birth the newborn tadpole is very weak and tired, with very tiny gills. Seven to ten it starts to get stronger and better gills are starting to come along. After six to nine weeks it will start to grow front and rear legs. |
